Exactly. It's only good for threaded mode.
Since everyone (practically) views in flat mode, quick reply SUCKS!

I agree with Trip, quick reply sucks!
No if only I had thought of saying that...... oh, wait...
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

I think education is in order. Luvdem bitched at me to quit using it and I did. To be honest I never really noticed the RE: part of the posts before that. I still will use it if I am just adding my .03 to a topic and not responding to anyone in particular though. I think most of the people who do use it improperly just don't know any better.

Now, see that? You just screwed it up yourself! You quoted ME in a reply to a different parent post! Now that "parent post reply notification" is back, I would never have known about it without happening to come back to this thread by chance and the person replied to gets an e-mail quoting something I said!

no, since everyone views in flatmode, the [Re: name] sucks.
No, the [Re: name] is NECCESARY BECAUSE almost everyone views in flat mode.
When I first became a member, I used the default (threaded view) for about 2-3 weeks which gave me a VERY clear understanding of post/thread/parent/child relationships.
After I understood how that works, I switched to flat mode because of ease/speed/comfort in reading posts. However, threaded mode is much easier to follow the heirararchy of the entire thread.
I still find reading in flat mode a bit confusing in some threads and without the [Re: name], nearly impossible at times.
I agree that education is in order, however it's too late to force members to use threaded mode for a period of time long enough to teach them how important it is to keep thread integrity for logistical value and comprehension of replies.
Or is it? (too late)... Yeah, it is for those already registered.
Just dump the damn bottom box already.

"Context clues"?
Gimme a break! Read my previous reply again.
What is it matts? Are you lazy, or just stubborn?
If it were possible to poll just the "thread intellegent" members on whether or not to dump the box, it would be a landslide to "DUMP IT".
